I also thought of Final Fantasy XIV (been playing it for a few years now), in the latest expansion Dark Knights get to summon a shadow copy of themselves that adds some extra damage. Paladins specialize in both Attack and Defense. It's not a gameplay build, but more of an "aesthetic", roleplaying sort of thing. A pair of Heavy Stubbers -- one projecting from a ball-turret and the other mounted alongside the mighty Rapid-Fire Battle Cannon -- give the Knight Paladin extra firepower, allowing the adamantium-armoured giant to mow down enemy infantry that manage to avoid its crushing feet.
